Allowance provided

Job summary

imec seeks a motivated student for a PhD/Master internship on memory technologies and hardware-software co-design. You will explore memory technologies, build system-technology co-optimization studies, and map applications to data movement costs.

You will work with Ramulator, DRAMsys and gem5 in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment at imec. The role offers a hands-on path to cutting-edge memory research, with supervision by KU Leuven and imec researchers, and a competitive internship

Qualifications

• Electromechanical engineering background
• Computer Science background
• Electrotechnics / Electrical Engineering background
• Analytical and detail‑oriented with strong interest in technology and hardware‑software codesign.
• Experience or interest in technology modelling, performance and energy analysis tools.
• Interest in cutting-edge memory research.

Responsibilities

• Guided research of current and emerging memory technologies as well as interfacing in-house experts.
• Employing STCO methodology by way of using and connecting mixed‑fidelity modelling and simulation tools. This can include analytical models, cycle‑aware/-approximate simulation (with tools such as Ramulator, DRAMsys, orgem5), and/or cycle accurate simulation.
• Profiling and mapping applications with full‑and sub‑system awarenessfor technology propositions to quantify costs and trade‑offs of data movement.
• Developingruntime optimisation strategies (e.g., adaptive tiling/scheduling andprefetching) to dynamically balance latency, bandwidth, and energy underchanging workload phases.
